<para>This ABI does not specify any additional interfaces for
|
|
general-purpose libraries. However, certain processor-specific support
|
|
routines are defined to ensure portability between ABI-conforming
|
|
implementations.</para>
|
|
<para>Such processor-specific support definitions concern vector and
|
|
floating-point alignment, register save and restore routines, variable
|
|
argument list layout, and a limited set of data definitions.</para>

<para>The symbols for these functions shall be hidden and locally

resolved within each module. The symbols so created shall not be

linked by the linker to each module, or the functions can be synthesized

by the linker as necessary to resolve symbols.</para>
